    Friday, August 6th

    No, No, No

    A day with no real plan for what I was going to do, and a day of needing groceries, so I ended up reverting to previous bad habits, feeding the hunger and filling the "what to do next" void with garbage food. And it always seems to be right before a weigh-in....

    Water: 8 cups
    Steps: 4,031

    WEIGH-IN

    Saturday, July 31st: 179.2

    lots of yard work yesterday got me up in steps AND our yard looks so nice!

    Sat 8/7
    Steps: 8051
    Water: 80+

    Having a slow lazy morning today and trying to figure out whether to do a lap swim at the Y, a walk, a bike ride, a cruiser bike ride, a yoga class, or more yard work...or some combination of these. I should write them all on slips of paper and pull one out of a hat. Instead I'm doing NONE of them because I can't decide!

    @annabananamc I totally get this, this morning! I was supposed to go mow for my mom today, but the weather is going to be crummy! I decided I would do one of my strength challenges but have been binging TWD this morning. Once I finish my fruit snack, I'm going to do my workout while I binge the show, so I'm a little more productive this morning!

    I vote you swim and get a yoga workout in! :)

    No, No, Yes, a 53 minute walk around town after we got ice cream.

    water: 8 cups (I like to have more)
    steps: 9,238

    We went to our friends' house for dinner and then ended up going into town (right on Lake Erie) for ice cream and a walk on a beautiful summer night. I haven't seen them in person since the end of September of last year, and they only live about a 45 minute drive from us! Thank you, Covid.... But, a lovely evening with absolutely no regrets!

    Sunday 8/8
    Steps: 3142
    water: 80+

    I wish it was as easy to exercise as to drink water in hot hot Florida summers! I ended up just doing errands yesterday and nursing a pulled muscle in my upper back/neck that has been messing with me for a few days (back of the head headaches like crazy) I did some googling and learned that the mechanism that turns your head and holds it up is all muscles and tendons. Everywhere else that turns that much is a join. No wonder my neck gets tired and sore holding that bowling ball up all day!

    Today, it's MONDAY and I am up early and putting on my walking clothes and heading out the door first thing. It's just now light enough and if I wait even 15 minutes longer I'll not go...so ttfn!

    Sorry I’ve been inactive for the last week! I’ve had to focus on my health cuz I was really scared! On Friday, July 30th, I got bit by what I think was a spider. When i got home from work and changed into shorts, my sister asked me what the red spot on the back of my leg was and she took a picture of it and it was similar to a mosquito bite but much bigger. I was like I have no clue. At first, I didn’t think anything of it and just shook it off. Well as the weekend went on, that spot turned into a big red rash. And on Monday my cousin was like you need to get it checked out. So I did. I went to urgent care and it was definitely an infection. I was prescribed a strong antibiotic and the dr told me that if it got worse to go to the hospital. So for the last week I was freaking out and hoping the antibiotics would work. That’s literally all I could focus on. Plus my right foot kept swelling making it hard to walk. It was just a miserable week. I vowed myself though that once I was done with the antibiotics that I was gonna go and start working on my health!!
    I finished the antibiotic yesterday and the rash is gone. So I’m relieved!

    I’m definitely weighing in tomorrow!
    I feel like this was the wake up call that I needed.

    @rawrxamberx what a scary thing! I'm glad the antibiotic worked and you are back on the path to health!

    Yesterday so glad I got the walk in as the day deteriorated

    Steps 5801
    water 80+

    I did 'un-volunteer' for a big event that was starting to eat up too much time and would have required burning a week of vacation time at work. That felt so liberating!

    I'm in a class for work most of today and tomorrow - and I LOVE classes, so that should be happy.

    Working to fit exercise in to the plan, and thinking about re-starting a 'metabolic effect' program I tried years ago with some success. Three 20 minute workouts (strength+heart rate elevation) each week is the basis.

    @rawrxamberx Glad the infection cleared up and now you are ready to move forward on your health journey.
